Moo tasks ignore BOINC CPU preferences - Apple MAC
(Message 5270)
Posted 31 Jul 2013 by archeye Post: Hi, there is an existing post with the same theme but it is closed. I just added Moo! Wrapper to my apple MAC mini, I see the CPU usage is 95-100% for the initial task (WU dnetc_r72_1375246442_9_9). This means the cooling fan runs like crazy. For now the WU is suspended. The MAC is running BOINC 7.0.65 which is the latest stable release. I support the concept of allowing use of my unused computing resources but also I want to be in control and the BOINC CPU settings let me manage CPU temperature vs WU processing. For me this is set in BOINC to 100% CPUs and 40% for processing time and is then under the threshold for the cooling fan to kick in and allows me to also work with the MAC. I have run Moo! Wrapper WUs on my windows PC earlier this month and did not notice this issue. Is any other MAC user finding the same? regards, |
